Three posts in one day?! Crazy, I know! Can you handle it?
I think it goes that there are at most six degrees of separation between you and someone famous…ya?
So here are my two celebrity connections for today.
#1: Charlize Theron – 1 degree
My high school, junior year English teacher, Mr. Steve McFeely, was one of the writers of The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, which starred Charlize Theron as Britt Eckland…and there you go! He won an emmy this past sunday, by the way! I believe that he’s penning the screenplay for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
#2: Paula Abdul – 4 degrees
So, I was flipping through People magazine when I flipped out and actually recognized Paula Abdul’s current boy toy. Didn’t surprise me that this guy turned out to be a model and aspiring actor…it does surprise me that he got accepted to UCSD. Anyway, I digress. Paula’s new boy toy, Dante Spencer was a friend of a friend of my college roommate’s…and there you go again!
Probably not one of my greater posts – but it is mind-numbing to the crazy week I’ve been having!
This song can basically sum up how work has been for me the past 6+ weeks. It’s mad crazy busy for me…but, I actually enjoy the mad, crazy busy. I am for once (in a looong time) enjoying my job again! Who’d’ve thought?
So…since I last left you:
*Sylvain and I hosted a small gathering of friends (thanks to D&G, S&A for joining us!) to watch the season premiere of The OC. Which led us to watch 2/3 of the new show, Reunion – don’t waste your time.
*For the hell of it, I joined the boys’ poker game that Friday, and came away with +$30. It was quite exciting since I had never really even won the pot before – the cards were very nice to me that night.
*Reluctant to fulfill ALL of our homeowner responsibilities, S and I swallowed our pride, laziness, whatever, and weeded our sidewalks. Yes, folks, our sidewalks! They look nice and neat tho – compared to the rest of the block. Round-up is my new best friend. (We woke up the following morning to sore legs and bums – who thought weeding would be so strenuous?)
*Our friends, Niki and Bill, Dani and Alex and their pooch Hershel came over for a BBQ dinner. Lucie was pretty happy to see her friend again – and I was happy to finally gather the girls together after a long while!
*My mom celebrated a birthday this past weekend and we celebrated with brunch at Catch and window shopping a walk up 24th street.
I wish I could say that I look forward to the weekends, but even those are busy with errands and such. I’m more than ready for a vacation. I’m not asking for much, I just need the following: my husband, warm to hot weather, sandy beach, pool, fruity alcoholic beverages with umbrellas, fluffy white Frette robes and good food. I’m not asking for too much am I?
and I mean that in every sense! Of course, we’re talking about the original waif queen, Kate Moss.
She’s been dropped from H&M, now Burberry and Chanel have released her from her contract. I think her net worth is down from 30M GBP to about a few pesos now.
(If you’ve been living under a rock, Miss Kate was caught on a cell phone video doing lines with a 5-note.)
